Ellie is Three!

Today is Ellie’s 3rd birthday. Yesterday we had no school since it was a holiday, so we made it “Ellie day”. We celebrated by taking her to some of her favorite places…the playground and etc. She enjoyed watching a huge parade, and of course we had to have cake & ice cream and all the decorations!

The cabezudos (big heads)- notice the little ball things in their hands. They used these to bop people on the heads. Evan got hit 5 times. He was a little scared at first, but by the end was enjoying it.
